Operating Instructions

Appliance description

Operating modes

Exhaust-air mode:

The extractor-hood fan extracts the kitchen vapours and conveys them through the grease filter into the atmosphere.
The grease filter absorbs the solid particles in the kitchen vapours.
The kitchen is kept almost free of grease and odours.

When the extractor hood is operated in exhaust-air mode simultaneously with a different burner which also makes use of the same chimney (such as gas, oil or coal-fired heaters, continuous-flow heaters, hot-water boilers) care must be taken to ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air which will be needed by the burner for combustion.

Safe operation is possible provided that the underpressure in the room where the burner is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).

Operating modes

This can be achieved if combustion air can flow through non-lockable openings, e.g. indoors, windows and via the air intake/ exhaust-air wall box or by other technical measures, such as reciprocal interlocking, etc.

If the air intake is inadequate, there is a risk of poisoning from combustion gases which are drawn back into the room.

An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no guarantee that the limiting value will not be exceeded.

Note: When assessing the overall requirement, the combined ventilation system for the entire household must be taken into consideration.

This rule does not apply to the use of cooking appliances, such as hobs and ovens.

Unrestricted operation is possible if the extractor hood is used in recirculating mode with activated carbon filter.

Circulating-air mode:

An activated carbon filter must be fitted for this operating mode (see Filters and maintenance).
The complete installation set and replacement filters can be obtained from specialist outlets.
The extractor-hood fan extracts the kitchen vapours which are purified in the grease filter and activated carbon filter and then conveyed back into the kitchen.
The grease filter absorbs the grease particles in the kitchen vapours.
The activated carbon filter binds the odorous substances.
If no activated carbon filter is installed, it is not possible to bind the odorous substances in the cooking vapours.

Gas hobs / Gas cookers

Do not use all the gas hot plates simultaneously for a prolonged period (max. 15 minutes) at maximum thermal load, otherwise there is a risk of burns if the housing surfaces are touched or a risk of damage to the extractor hood. If the extractor hood is situated over a gas hob, operate the hood at maximum setting if three or more gas hotplates are operated simultaneously.

Operating procedure

The most effective method of removing vapours produced during cooking is to:

• Switch the ventilator ON as soon as you begin cooking.
  Switch the ventilator OFF a few minutes after you have finished cooking.

Switching ON:

Switch the desired fan setting.

Switching OFF:

Switch back to 0.

Lighting:

The light can be switched on at any time, even though the fan is switched off.

Filters and maintenance

Grease filters:

Metal filters are used to trap the greasy element of the vapours that develop during cooking.

The filter mats are made from noncombustible metal.

Caution:

As the filter becomes more and more saturated with grease, not only does the risk of it catching fire increase but the efficiency of the extractor hood can also be adversely affected.

Important:

By cleaning the metal grease filters at appropriate intervals, the possibility of them catching fire as a result of a build-up of heat such as occurs when deep-fat frying or roasting is taking place, is reduced.

Cleaning the metal grease filters:

In normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily), the metal grease filter must be cleaned after 8 to 10 weeks.
The filters can be cleaned in a dishwasher. It is however possible that they will become slightly discoloured.
The filter must be placed loosely, and NOT wedged, in the dishwasher.

Important: Metal filters that are saturated with grease should not be washed together with other dishes etc.

• When cleaning the filters by hand, soak them in hot soapy water first of all. Then brush the filters clean, rinse them thoroughly and leave the water to drain off.

Filters and maintenance

Removing and inserting the metal grease filters:

1. Press the catch on the grease filters inwards and fold the filters down.

1. Clean the filters.
2. Insert the clean filters back into the hood.

Activated carbon filter:

For neutralizing odours in recirculating mode.

Caution:

As the filter becomes more and more saturated with grease, there is an increased risk of fire and the function of the extractor hood may be impaired.

Important:

Change the activated carbon filter promptly to prevent the risk of fire from the accumulation of heat when deep-fat frying or roasting.

Fitting

Remove the cover by rotating the knobs to 90^ , put the activated carbon filter inside and fix it by rotating the knob to 90^ then close the cover.

To remove proceed in the reverse order.

Replace every 4 months.

Cleaning and care

Disconnect the extractor hood from the electricity supply by pulling out the mains plug or switching it off at the fuse box.

At the same time as you clean the grease filters, clean off any grease from all accessible parts of the housing. This significantly reduces the fire hazard and ensures that the extractor hood performs as effectively as possible.
Use a hot detergent solution or a mild window cleaner to clean the canopy of the extractor hood.
Do not scrape off any dirt that has dried on but loosen it up with a damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or sponges that could cause scratches.
Note: Do not use alcohol (spirit) on plastic parts, otherwise the surface may become matt in appearance.

Caution: Ensure that the kitchen is adequately ventilated. Avoid naked flames!

Clean the switch with a soft, damp cloth (mild detergent solution) only.
Do not use stainless steel polish on the sliding switch.

Stainless steel surfaces:.

Use a mild non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.
Clean the surface in the same direction as it has been ground and polished.

Do not use any of the following to clean stainless steel surfaces: abrasive sponges, cleaning agents containing sand, soda, acid or chloride!

Aluminium and plastic surfaces:

Use a soft, non-linting window cloth or micro-fibre cloth.
Do not use dry cloths.
Use a mild window cleaning agent.. Do not use aggressive, acidic or caustic cleaners.
Do not use abrasive agents.

The extractor hood can be used in exhaust air or circulating air mode.

Always mount the extractor hood over the centre of the hob.
The extractor hood must not be installed over a solid fuel cooker - a potential fire hazard (e.g. flying sparks) - unless the cooker features a closed, non-removable cover and all national regulations are observed.
The smaller the gap between the extractor hood and hotplates, the greater the likelihood that droplets will form on the underside of the extractor hood.

Additional information concerning gas cookers:

When installing gas hotplates, comply with the relevant national statutory regulations (e.g. in Germany: Technische Regeln Gasinstallation TRGI).
Always comply with the currently valid regulations and installation instructions supplied by the gas appliance manufacturer.
Only one side of the extractor hood may be installed next to a high-sided unit or high wall. Gap at least 50~mm
The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 50cm from electric cookers and 65cm from gas or mixed cookers.

If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.

Exhaust-air mode

The exhaust air is discharged upwards through a ventilation shaft or directly through the outside wall into the open.

Exhaust air must not be discharged via a smoke or exhaust gas flue which is already in use or via a shaft which is used for ventilating rooms in which fireplaces are located.

Discharge exhaust air in accordance with official and statutory regulations (e.g. national building regulations).

Discharge of air into smoke or exhaust air flues which are not in use requires the consent of a heating engineer.

If the extractor hood is operated in exhaust-air mode at the same time as a flue-type heater (e.g. gas, oil or solid-fuel heater, instantaneous water heater, boiler), ensure that there is an adequate air supply which the heater requires for combustion.

Safe operation is possible provided that the partial vacuum in the room in which the heater is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).

This can be achieved if the combustion air is able to flow through non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors, windows and in conjunction with an air supply/air-intake wall

box or by other technical procedures such as reciprocal interlocking.

This can be achieved if the combustion air is able to flow through non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors, windows and in conjunction with an air supply/air-intake wall

If the air intake is inadequate, there is a risk of poisoning from combustion gases which are drawn back into the room.

An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no guarantee that the limiting value will not be exceeded.

Note: When assessing the overall requirement, the combined ventilation system for the entire household must be taken into consideration. This rule does not apply to the use of cooking appliances, such as hobs and gas cookers.

The extractor hood can be used without restriction in circulating air mode - with an activated carbon filter.

An extractor hood which is operated in exhaust-air mode should be fitted with a one-way flap if there is no one-way flap in the exhaust-air pipe or wall box.

If a one-way flap is not supplied with the appliance, you can purchase one from your dealer.

Do NOT cut out the inner part of the exhaust-air connection.

Prior to installation

Fitting the one-way flap:

• Insert the two lugs on the one-way flap into the holes in the exhaust-air connection.

Short, smooth exhaust-air pipe.
Minimum number of pipe bends.
- Largest possible pipe diameter (125 mm dia. recommended) and large pipe bends. If long, rough exhaust-air pipes, many pipe bends or smaller pipe diameters are used, the air extraction rate will no longer be at an optimum level and there will be an increase in noise.
Round pipes:

Short discharge pipe:

Inner diameter at least 100mm extended discharge pipe:

Inner diameter at least 125mm

Flat ducts must have an inner crosssection equivalent to round pipes with an inner diameter of 100 / 125mm
There should be no sharp bends.
100 m dia approx. 178 cm2
125 m dia approx. 113 cm2
If pipe diameters differ:
Insert sealing strip.
- Ensure an adequate air supply for exhaust-air mode.

Exhaust air upwards:

Pipe diameter: 125/100 mm

Insert the exhaust-air connection and turn as far as possible.

Prior to installation

Do not connect the appliance to the mains until the installation is fully complete.

Circulating-air mode

• With activated carbon filter if exhaust-air mode is not possible.
  The air purified by an additional activated carbon filter is conveyed back into the room.
  For insertion of the activated carbon filter see Instructions for use.
  If the extractor hood is switched from exhaust-air mode to circulating-air mode, the exhaust-air opening must be sealed to prevent a hazardous situation (see optional accessories in the Instructions for use).

Electrical connection

The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area apply a bipolar switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to overcurrent category III, in accordance with installation instructions.

Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.
If the connecting cable for this appliance is damaged, the cable must be replaced by the manufacturer or his customer service or a similarly qualified person in order to prevent serious injury to the user.
